Catching Up

   It's been a hectic few weeks, hence the lack of a post. So, yeah, we're doing a little catch-up on what's been happening the past couple weeks.
   Not the least of which is the on-off-on again summit between The Donald and Kim Jong-un. After a promising start, Kim got pissed at the U.S and South over their joint military drills, and scrapped a meeting with the South. Which prompted The Donald to call off his summit. Both sides are trying to work things out.
   Roseanne Barr did not have things work in her favour. After a racist tweet, her show was scrubbed by ABC execs, even though she did make a lame, and way too late, apology. Her first go-round on TV wasn't bad, I'll admit. But I was fuckin' well NOT going to watch the re-boot. And now, no one else will, either.
   Finally: Wedding Bells.

   For Britain's Prince Harry and Meghan Markle last month. I did not stay up to watch the nuptials. That said, I did catch a few minutes before I had to leave on a 10 hour drive at 05:30 that Saturday morning, which was another reason I haven't been posting. I was away from my computer for the best part of a week.
   But, I'm back at it now!
   'Nuff said.

Thoughts 'n Prayers

   Yup! It's time to send them out again, after the latest school shooting in the good ol' U.S of A. This time, as many as 10 are dead after some asshole with a chip on his shoulder, toting a shotgun walked into a classroom at the high school in Santa Fe, Texas, and opened fire. 9 of the dead are students, and a teacher, were killed. As many as a dozen others were injured The (alleged) shooter, a 17 year old, was arrested. A 2nd "person of interest" was also taken into custody. Both are from the same school.
   If that's not bad enough, several explosive devices were found in the school and surrounding area. Bomb squad cops were working to render them safe. The "devices" were pipe and pressure cooker bombs. A motive isn't known.
   Sticking with the script for this, and other school shootings (Parkland Florida for one), POTUS Donald Trump issued the basic, time worn condolence statement:

"We grieve for the terrible loss of life and send our love and support to everyone affected by this absolutely horrific attack. We're with you in this tragic hour and we'll be with you forever."

   And you'd better keep the "Thoughts 'n Prayers" on standby, cause this sure as shit won't be the last school shooting that'll happen in the States.

   Nuff said.
